5.00This was a great experience for my family. I have a 16 year old and an 18 year old and we had a blast. It was a beautiful day and the guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. We saw several dolphins. You will definitely get wet so wear the right clothing and shoes.
Fun day on the water

5.00We had an amazing afternoon on this tour . It was a windy day so we switched from the Creek Cat vessel to a Zodiac style and I was so grateful we did ! There was some chop and a lot of wind which would have made the more open vessel cold and very wet …. The guides were knowledgeable and kept us all safe while still letting each little vessel to have fun ! The ride through the marshes was my favorite part. I would highly recommend this tour and will do it again when I return to Hilton Head
Too cold for November

5.00We were the only ones on the “tour”. It was less tour and more fly around the water as fast as you can. I was expecting more saunter and less sprint. It was a mid 60s day in November and when we moved slowly it was quite enjoyable but the way it was we were soaked and ice cold. One for the summer. Probably need to moderate the experience for different times of the year.
